Now that the beautiful Indian summer has disappeared here in the Pacific Northwest, and things are a bit more dreary, it’s time for some things to change around this homestead!
The garden is ready to be cleared of all the dead tomato plants and vines, and the huge poke weeds we let grow too big are beginning to droop and look sad. But I won’t let the dreariness get me down. Instead, I’ll rise up and prepare for new beginnings!
Right now is the best time for me to rethink my space, and to plan for the future. The ground is good and sopping wet, so I can easily start reshaping the yard with new pathways and garden beds. We can use last season’s lessons to optimize the layout and functionality of the space we have to work with for next season. That’s artful homemaking!
Check back for more progress soon…
